Find the world at your fingertips in SAGE Reference's Encyclopedia of Global Studies

Los Angeles (April 24, 2012) SAGE Reference has just published the reference work for the emerging field of global studies, the authoritative and interdisciplinary Encyclopedia of Global Studies.

In four volumes, it covers both transnational topics and intellectual approaches to the study of all major global themes. Employing the terms and concepts scholars use to conceptualize and study global themes, the nearly 700 A-to-Z entries are helpfully organized in a Reader's Guide with the following key topic headings:

  • Global Studies
  • Global Economic Issues
  • Global Demographic Change
  • Global Communications, Transportation, Technology
  • Global Culture, Media
  • Global Religions, Beliefs, Ideologies
  • Identities in Global Society
  • Global Civil Society
  • Global Environmental and Energy Issues
  • Global Health and Nutrition
  • Global Conflict and Security
  • Global Governance and World Order
  • Global Justice and Legal Issues
  • Global Historical Antecedents

This reference covers new ground in two ways: No other encyclopedia covers all these topics in such a systematic and comprehensive fashion, and no other presents those topics from a specifically global perspective. The Encyclopedia of Global Studies is an essential resource for all academic and public libraries serving those seeking to understand the interconnected relationships among societies, polities, economies, and cultural systems on a global scale. A FREE 30-day online trial to this title is available at www.sagepub.com/freetrial.

Editor Helmut K. Anheier is dean of the Hertie School of Governance in Berlin, Germany, and professor of sociology, Heidelberg University, where he also serves as academic director of the Center for Social Investment. Editor Mark Juergensmeyer is professor of sociology and global studies, affiliate professor of religious studies, and director of the Orfalea Center for Global and International Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
